The swampy area was filled with the smell of blood and the cries of agony.

The giant skuas descended from the sky, using both wings and claws to sweep away all obstacles, plunging the mud penguin colony into an unprecedented crisis.

"Chirp!!"

The adult mud penguins finally realized what was happening and began pecking at their bodies with their beaks, shaking off clumps of dry, hard mud like they were shaking off feathers.

Mudspot shooting!

but……

The giant skuas circled and took off, dodging all the attacks.

Then it swooped down, grabbed the largest mud penguin, and slammed it hard onto the rock. With a dull thud, the mud penguin's life force instantly weakened, and a few seconds later, its vital signs disappeared.

"cracking!"

The heavy wing bones smashed with crisp cracking sounds as the giant skuas went on a killing spree, with adult mud penguins dying one after another.

In just a few moments, the swampy mud was covered with yellowish-brown blood foam, bubbling and gurgling, a truly shocking sight.

"Mud chirp..."

The isolated little mud penguin escaped disaster by standing on the edge.

Having witnessed the entire catastrophe, its pupils dilated into a hollow blackness, too frightened to even blink.

Those short legs were stuck on the soft mud, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, completely unable to move.

"cracking!"

The giant skuas suddenly stopped killing.

At this time, the number of mud penguins has decreased by a quarter, and among those that have survived, there are hardly any particularly strong adult males.

The giant skuas called out a few times towards the distance.

Soon, the flapping sound grew closer, and two small giant skuas with wingspans of about 1.5 meters hovered low in the air, their short, tender wings trying to suppress the airflow, and a faint, seemingly fierce light gleamed in their clear, remaining pupils.

"So they brought their kids here to practice hunting! No wonder they ate one cub but stopped eating others!"

Jiang Mo's thoughts flowed instantly.

Suddenly, a little giant skuas swooped down, mimicking its mother, pecking, slashing with its wings, and grabbing with its claws.

Although their posture was clumsy, not only the little mud penguins but even the big mud penguins could hardly resist. They could only open their round black eyes, utter intermittent mournful cries, and curl up helplessly while trembling.

"Young master, these two have no special privileges; they rely solely on their bloodline advantage."

"However, even if the mud penguin colony can't win in a direct confrontation, many of them can still escape in the end."

Jiang Mo nodded. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw some mud penguins paying the ultimate price to buy time.

The surviving mud penguins flatten their feet and glide at high speed across the swamp like skateboarders.

"Mud sliding is the primary means of movement and escape for mud penguins, and one of their core talents."

"As locations become more and more dispersed and the distances between them grow, some will always survive and relocate to a new area to start anew."

"But why didn't that little mud penguin run away? Was it really scared out of its wits?"

These thoughts had just crossed Jiang Mo's mind.

The little mud penguin in the center of the field of vision suddenly let out a shriek, its eyes reddening, and slid angrily toward a small giant skuas.

"cracking?"

The little giant skuas noticed the sudden increase in the wind behind it, but it didn't care at all and continued to concentrate on tearing apart the big mud penguin under its claws.

As it drew nearer, the little giant skuas didn't even turn its head, but suddenly flapped its wing—in its judgment, this blow would shatter the little mud penguin's internal organs, then it would hear a mournful scream, and then, there would be an insignificant corpse nearby.

"Bang!!"

An incredibly dull, muffled sound.

The little giant skuas was like a tattered piece of cotton struck by a heavy hammer, suddenly flying sideways. Its tender, underdeveloped wings flapped futilely in the air, tumbling three or four times in a sorry state, still unable to regain its balance.

When it fell into the mud, it started coughing up blood, with bright red blood foam mixed with muddy water spilling from the corner of its mouth.

It panicked and frantically flapped its wings, but those wings, cast in bronze and iron and giving it all its confidence, suddenly became weak and powerless, unable to lift even an inch.

The swamp suddenly fell silent.

The mother giant skuas circling in the sky suddenly fixed her eyes on something as cold as iron, and her ferocity surged wildly.

However... misjudging the opponent's strength and getting injured as a result is also a lesson that must be learned in a hunting career.

The mother giant skuas suppressed her murderous intent and urged her other chick with a sharp cry, "Come here, defeat it, and prove yourself!"

"Old Crane".

Jiang Mo pursed her lips, then suddenly patted He Zhifeng's shoulder, "I want to form a contract with it."

He Zhifeng shuddered, as if waking from a dream.

How could that be...?

How could a mud penguin possibly defeat a giant skuas?

One is the weakest of the low-class, with neither outstanding attack nor defense, but better at escaping and hiding.

One is a medium-sized, powerful raptor, fierce, domineering, and arrogant.

Crushing is the norm...

Why...why the Heavenly Gang is reversed...?

Decades of knowledge seemed to be completely destroyed in this moment.

As He Zhifeng considered a possibility, his beard and hair trembled slightly, the wrinkles on his face widened and smoothed out with shock, and his old eyes stared wide open, filled with disbelief.

"Whoosh!"

The second little giant skuas, following its mother's command, charged at the little mud penguin whose eyes were red with anger.

Learning from its younger brother's experience, it dared not be careless. It took off, swooped down, and slashed its wings in one go, launching a full-scale attack.

The angry little mud penguin, attempting to deliver another headbutt to the fallen giant skuas, was forced to stop in its tracks.

This attack comes from the sky, and it won't burrow into the ground; there's no way to avoid it.

Just when Jiang Mo thought it was about to be hit, the little mud penguin arched its body and slapped off the mud with its short flippers.

Jiang Mo was taken aback.

The old crane was listless.

It turns out this little mud penguin isn't strong at all!

It deliberately picked up yellow mud and covered itself from head to toe in order to make itself look the same color as the other mud penguins!

After wiping it off, its real feathers were revealed to be black, jet black and impermeable, each feather smooth and solid, with a faint, cold luster, like metal!

"Nee-choo! Nee-choo! Nee-choo!"

Little black mud penguin, launching a mud-splatter attack!

Each tiny fragment of black mud was plucked from the feather's edge, and once fired, it was as fast as a bullet, leaving trails of dark afterimages in the air.

Little Giant-winged Skuas—the momentum of the dive suddenly collapsed!

Before it could even land, its head was broken and bleeding. It could only scream as it fell to the ground, rolling around and howling in pain.

"cracking!!"

The mother giant skuas flew into a rage, her cold eyes turning crimson. She abruptly folded her giant wings and transformed into a silver streak as she swooped down.

The little black mud penguin, which had successfully defeated two small giant skuas, suddenly found itself in a precarious situation after feeling the pressure of the strong wind. Its lower limbs sank into the mud and became immobile, while its upper body creaked as if it were rusting.

"Those without a job, like charioteers, have only one foot in the realm of the extraordinary."

"Even if their racial bloodline is superior due to mutation, they are still at a disadvantage when facing genuine one-star laborers."

"And in all the world, there are only five ways to obtain a favored position: by birth, by bloodline, by divine gift, by gestation, and by imperial decree."
